I'm trying to drop my 2" hitch mounted back rack as low as possible. What hitch might work for this?

I have used both the 2 and 6 inch drop on my motorhome for the toad, depending on you clearance factor as to which hi-low to use. The roadmaster hi-lows are top quality. Will

There are a number of HI-Lo hitches that can be used to either raise or lower your hitch point. You just need to decide how much weight you will need to support and the number of inches you wish to safely drop (have to leave enough ground clearance for driveways, etc.). Search for Hi-Lo 2" hitch and choose the one that meets your needs.

It really depends on your towing need. I used this on my 35 foot motor home to tow my Miata. At 6000lbs it was more than enough. It is a 6 inch drop which left me 11 inches to the center of the lower square or about 10 inches off the ground. I found it's best to remove it when I'm not towing because of the amount of overhang behind the axle, it will drag at times. For trailer towing, when I need a ball, I use an adjustable height hitch. They are much cheaper but the inexpensive ones (Harbor Freight) don't have the capacity to tow a car but work with my boat or utility trailer.

Similar problem - no way to get to nut inside channel to tighten down properly either. Might work for a smaller ball, but I would not trust it even if you could get it on there. The workaround I used (found on Amazon as I needed ASAP for a trip) was to purchase a different receiver hitch that had a "piggy back" receiver welded above it. The upper one can be used to hold the bike rack and the "real" one below allows a ball to be mounted properly. Added advantage is you can get a MUCH better tow rating / capacity using this configuration.Hope this helps.MP

It slides into a 2 inch standard reciever like a normal hitch will,it won't work if you only have a ball.but it is a great rack.

I don't see why not with a 2" hitch receiver. The only hang up may be the height of a truck versus the lower ground clearance on an ATV. The hydraulic only lowers it so far.

It's rock solid in a 2" hitch. The system requires you to turn a knob at the base of the rack which creates a friction fit

I know you can purchase an adapter that will allow a 2inch hitch to be attached to a 1-1/4" receiver. However, I believethat with a four bike hitch, you need to have a 2 inch receiver type hitch for strength. These hitches are heavy without any bikes.Four bikes just adds another 100 plus pounds to the hitch and all this weight is hanging way out.You could go to the swagman website or to ORS racks direct and ask this them this question to confirm my answer.

Can't quit picture this but I will try. Seems like your going to end up with two breaks one for the 2"" adapter end and one 1 1/4 "end. This is a pretty simple but effective device and you can almost tell if it will work by just looking closely at picture. I am pretty sure it will stop the wobble at the hitch, but you are going to have wobble at the 1 1/4 "" connection. I really think that this might even work at this end, but you need a wrench and you probably want the ease of taking on and off without tools.

Seldom ever would be solid on 2" receivers... more often solid is the case if it is a 1" receiver. Quality item will easily handle the hitch manufacturers weight restrictions just fine. Really enjoy ours. These are typically used to extend past a vehicles rear mounted spare tire.

This hitch basket is designed to fit a 2" receiver hitch. Thanks, www.got-chrome.com

If the tire is center mounted probably not. The rack fits a 2" hitch though. You would have to put the tire somewhere else.

You shouldn't have any problems using that hitch as long as it is even. We had that hitch and had it removed because it was not even so the bike rack was tilted. Other than that it would have worked fine. If you're still not sure you can call the company to get details. They have a guy that can give you answers. It's an awesome hitch, works we'll and looks great

This slides into a standard 2" hitch. I am not sure if that is what your asking,

That's interesting. I wonder why they say not to. It seems to me it would work like any other rack I've seen on the back of an RV trailer. You'll need a tow hitch to mount it on and not knowing how secure that might be I don't know if the boucing and wobble might be exaggerated at the end of a trailer and cause some danger.

Standard 2 inch receiver. Unknown on what class hitch. Can only lift up to 1000 lbs.

These racks have quite a bit of bounce to them to begin with...throwing in more connections would really get things to bouncing. I wouldn't try it. I have an adapter to raise my hitch-height, but chose not to use it for that reason.

I know they make adaptors to go from 1 1/4 into a 2 but not sure about the other way for safety reasons. A 1 1/4 hitch receiver less of a weight rating. Remember you'll have nearly five hundred pounds of bikes on the rack plus the weight of the rack. Adaptors are just adding another point for failure. Hope this helped.

If it doesn't come out far enough, you could buy a hitch extender. This is not a difficult rack to get on and off the hitch, but it is a bit awkward because the rack does not fold down flat. It's a great hitch rack though. I highly recommend it.
